5513 serif dial with 7836 bracelet

[emanuah]

Hi all,

Just bought 5513 38##### serial number, the watch is untouched watch, and at the moment at my watchmaker for service (just movement service and plexi replacing), and now for the question:
Could it be that the watch come originally with 7836 folded link stamp A on the clasp?

Thanks for any input...

I'd say your bracelet is a later edition but you never know how long the watch lay on the shelf at the dealership, could very well have sold with this bracelet but more likely not.

watch circa 1973 bracelet circa 1976, back in the day it was mix and match so it's possible the original buyer preferred the 7836 and your watch hade been lying around for a while.
